    Hullo, just in case this is of any interest...

    ...the Argos-exclusive (Target-exclusive in the US I think?) DOTM Voyager Optimus redeco (now with added gimmick! And more clear plastic than you could see a robot army through!) is out.

    In the UK anyway. Bought him earlier today for the princely sum of £34.99. They only had the one in-stock so perhaps they're not anticipating a landslide on this one...

    I wouldn't say it's just this figure. I've pretty much given up on Argos. Every time I've checked my local stores over the last few years, they only seem to have only one or two random Deluxes or Voyagers in stock.

    All the RTS exclusives are out at Argos - mine had stock of each, and I bought the Tiny Turbos pack.

    Hes alright. Not the best ever. Hes got some odd proportions though making him look a bit more cartoony compared to what you'd expect from a movie toy.

    This is meant to alert Ukers that its out. Doesn't say out as of today so its not wrong.

    Too bad voyagers at retail aren't that far off. Argos is just a bit more expensive for some reason.
